This new book has 224 pages. 275x215mm. Printed on gloss art paper, casebound with printed board covers. Unlike his previous two narrow gauge albums which covered the whole of the British Isles, this is solely IRISH NARROW GAUGE and of black and white photographs. So you can sit back and in the company of Michael Whitehouse, who has once again delved deep into the family archive established by his late father P.B. ‘Pat’ Whitehouse, which includes the work of many other well-known names such as W. ‘Cam’ Camwell, Henry Casserley, A.W. Croughton and Ron Jarvis, revel in the joys of a visit spanning the fifty year period from circa 1910 to around 1960 and mostly to the remoter parts of the country. The Syndicate will be selling this book by post, profits to Irish Preservation, as always (No.171's new tubes in particular). £25 UK only plus a token £1.50 for post and packing I'm sorry that I can't supply to the Republic, as the postage is almost as much as the book! I'm seeking a way round this impasse! I'll put up a sample page or two when they arrive. PM me, or e-mail me if interested. Leslie (Provincial Wagons and The Syndicate) Just a thought, if you're buying a pile of kits from me, I can put everything in the same box and save on the criminal postage!

No, NOT about Riley cars, but DICK RILEY a famous English photographer whose photographs have adorned many books in the past. In this new volume, Michael has selected about 80 photographs (published one per page) taken by Dick Riley during a single, busy, week-long visit to Ireland in May 1950. It was the only visit Riley made to Ireland and he made very good use of his time. The photographs are from the Transport Library collection and are well reproduced in this small hardback landscape book. Riley journied from Belfast (BCDR, NCC and GNR) through Dundalk, touching the DN&GR, the three main sheds in Dublin, Bray, the Cavan and Leitrim, Clones, Enniskillen, Sligo, Strabane, Co Donegal, the Swilly, the NCC lines from Derry and finished in Ballycastle with a couple of nice photos taken six months before the end of that narrow gauge line. Michael has provided an informative, readable caption for every photograph, full of technical, historical detail with a fair sprinkling of anecdotes. Only available directly from the publisher - https://totempublishing.co.uk/product/riley-in-ireland-by-michael-mcmahon/ Highly recommended. Leslie

"GSWR Carriage Diagrams" by H Richards & B Pender a 1975 Transport Research Associates, re-print of the 1924 GSWR Carriage Diagram Book I have been looking for a copy of this for the last several years and should have probably started on here first. If anyone has a copy, original or reprint, that the would be willing to part with, donate to a fellow modeler, sell, loan, put on a 99-year lease, lose in my general vicinity etc. I would appreciate if you would kindly PM me. Thank you

Browsed this interesting little booklet from 1987. Lists info just about single every CIE/IR diesel loco and coaching stock up as far 1987. Some nice photos of coaching stock. DMUs and shunters included and corresponding NR stock also. One of the interesting snippets was the date each loco went out of traffic and subsequent dates of scraping, sale or storage. Some very unusual coaches covered. Picked it up on Amazon for £1.86 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0947773088/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
